We have mapped the human genome and know for a fact that if adults who are related closely together breed, it only takes a few generations before we start seeing deformities like cleft lip and club foot, along with various life threatening conditions to boot. Humans could not have risen out of one single pairing of adults, period. The Bible claims this happened twice, first with Adam and Eve, and then with Noah's family of eight individuals. It's every bit as ridiculous as a talking serpent, magic fruit, or people living to be several hundred years old. It's mythology, so discussing it any further is an exercise in futility.

While people in the ancient world didn't understand much about the mechanisms of how phenotypes are passed down from one generation to another I think it's not much of a stretch to say they understood that parents would pass down these phenotypes to their children (i.e. children tend to look similar to their parents) - so it wouldn't be that remarkable for a bible story to say that a curse could be interwoven with that process, and propagate down generations through that same mechanism. That said I'm not really familiar with the verse in question. I don't know if it really says something like that. But ancient people wouldn't need to know about DNA to say something like that, they'd just need to know the basic fact that traits tend to get passed down between generations, and that sex makes babies. Describing it as DNA just applies our modern, more detailed understanding to phenomena that have *always* been observable, and to some extent understood.

Jesus then had to die to be the ultimate sacrificial lamb to wipe away everyone's original sin so all they had to do was pray to get saved instead of doing sacrifices anymore.

The Serpent was not Satan. God was outdone by one of his first creations, Adam's crazy first wife Lilith. It was she, not Lucifer, who took a serpentine form to fuck up the new happy couple.

Chewed him up at spat him out.. Nice job

The callers are always good for a laugh.

The look on Vi's face when she takes a shot at Eric with her... California..burning bush... comment is priceless!

I need someone to help me understand the moment Sin begins and just plain old piss poor personal decision making ends.

If I didn't want my creatures to eat apples, I wouldn't create apple trees.

Fascinating. Slightly hilarious, but more sad. Dangerous. All too real.

Lmao, this is the second time I have heard someone say sin changed DNA. I can't even begin to understand how that makes sense.

I can read the bible myself? You would *really* allow me that giddy thrill, Brandon? Wow, it's not even my birthday and it's all coming up Jon :)

Vi and Eric: From 12:06-12:1 was one of the funniest things I've seen; Eric trying to deal with Brandon and getting a little distracted with Vi's California is technically a burning bush remark. You oughta use that as a trailer or even a bumper: anything as long as you use it; it's too good not to be used. It the anger temper Brandon ignited in me too.

Love Ví's answer at the end.

Brandon certainly knows how to dance! Tappity tappity tap tap. He reminds me of a Puppeter doing their mating dance.

I understood that reference!

Doubt is the beginning of wisdom.

"God offers no rewards for intellect. He has never yet showed any interest in it." ..... Mark Twain.

Vi and Eric look like some real cool dudes to Hang out!!! 😁😂

One more thing. Atheists are not sinners. It is impossible for them to be sinners. Sin is wrongdoing against god. If your beliefs don't involve a deity then you may do wrong but it isn't sin. It is impossible for an Atheist to sin. Original sin is a joke.

Well, no, the question of whether an act is a "sin" would hinge on whether the god is real, not whether the person believes in that god. So an atheist could be a sinner - if a god is real.

Hahaha I loved Eric's "Brandon" voice 🤭

God already knows who is going to go to Heaven and Hell? So God is playing games with everyone.

Watching this show has been a good learning curve. I understand why Americans are alone in the western world as a theistic nation...this position grates against the current world. What will happen?

Why does God need DNA? Doesn't Isaiah say that we are woven together in our mother's womb? So....

He didn't need it......until later when (unfortunately) science discovered DNA And then he of course retrofittingly had to figure it out too

I particularly enjoy how this guy starts with "Original sin is in our DNA since Eve and the snek," then when Passover is brought up, it's suddenly "Those specific babies got a free ticket to heaven!" Well which apologetic do we want? Are the Passover firstborn carrying original sin or are they in heaven now?

Awesome thumbnail..:)

If someone walked up to him performing magic tricks claiming they're God and that they're going to kill his children so he can take their souls to heaven, would he just let them go? What's the difference? How would he know?

I heard him on before and hes all adamant apologetics every time.

So if Sin is in our DNA, if we find the ability to change our DNA, we can remove Sin? I want to know where it is in iur DNA

One word sums this up 'delusional'

Hoooooooooooooo Boyyy That final pro abortion blow from V was God tier. 🙏

Oh man Brandon is batshit crazy!!! I'm super fuckin hype

The guy is lost from what I see, but Eric tends to over complicate the discussion, instead of focusing on the original sin he goes over his head in a kind of socratic method about doubt.

First time I've heard of "shape shifting" DNA 🤔

Brandon: God is truth God: earth is flat Me: I'm not convinced that god is truth

@FACE GALLON just stop the nonsense...

Brandon will now tell why a Christian from a denomination other than his is going to Hell?

Eric made very good points

he said doubting is bad, ask him how many other gods and religious stories he doubts

Also why does that whole the man child shall crush the head of the snake thing seem like a hilarious old timey reference to butt sex?

Sin-Sex changed the DNA! I stopped believing in God two years ago and He has not showed up, spoken, or done anything to bring me back.

As a Pelagian heretic, I think Original sin is the silliest doctrine in scripture....we are born innocent...I am convinced of this.....the world works on us....hence sin.....

The Brothers Grimm were happy optimists!

Still waiting for my smokes

Vi has absolutely Killer eyes ! :)

I don't think my sins are original. I'm sure somebody thought of them before I did.
